Lee Harvey Oswald’s wedding band heading to auction block
Series: JFK 50 years ago
"Marina Oswald Porter wants to break all ties with “the worst day of my life” — the dreadful day her late husband, Lee Harvey Oswald, shot and killed President John F. Kennedy.
So she’s commissioned a New Hampshire auction house to sell Oswald’s gold wedding band, which had been ensnared in investigative and legal loops for nearly half a century.
In a five-page handwritten letter accompanying the ring that RR Auction estimates will fetch at least $30,000 to $50,000, Porter talks of distancing herself from her former husband."
